nice value not set correctly #15

Closed qzaidi closed 7 years ago

qzaidi commented 13 years ago

I have a server configured with mysql backup with compression, and this starves the CPU even when I am running it at nice level 15. I think this is happening because nice needs to be invoked for every command in the pipeline, and right now it seems to be invoked only for mysqldump, not for the following compression command.

we have currently

nice -n nice_value mysqldump .... | bzip2 ...

which could be modified to

nice -n nice_value mysqldump .... | nice -n nice_value bzip2 ...
